I'm compiling a list of everyone who pledged this cause (you can still join in, by the way - the pledge siteis open for a few more weeks), and everyone who answered Kristen's call to scuffle for a duck and a vibrator for the cause (it's not running or walking, but it serves the same end and is no less invigorating.) It'll go up this week, this list, my list of Tanner's Heroes.

Thank you. From the bottom of MY heart.

(PS - The doctor's visit was fine. I barfed and passed out - actually, if you want the particulars, which you don't, I passed out and then came to and barfed - but I think that that means that a good time was had, if nothing else.)

(Also, this morning, at 5:30am, as I prepared for Tanner's Walk, I discovered something that I'd like to share with you, for your own personal edification and enlightenment: If you have only one pair of sports socks, and you discover that they have not dried adequately in the laundry during the night, and you're in a rush, do not microwave said socks in an effort to dry them. You will only steam them, and steamed sweat sock do not smell good. Just thought that you'd like to know. Pass it on.)

the picture of your sister crossing the finish line made my little grinch heart puff up.

and...giggling here...what is it with race footwear? i walked the Run for the Cure today, and - upon grabbing my sneakers to rush out the door, discovered that my cat had chewed off one of the shoelaces. so i grabbed the other set (the real athletic-type set, seldom worn) and discovered that my cat had chewed off one of the shoelaces. so i had to combine the two. i didn't microwave my socks, though...small mercies.

glad things looked good at the appointment...you know, barf and fainting aside. :)

If it makes you feel better about the socks, I didn't catch wind of them. Thanks for the tip though. More so, thank you for the invitation to walk with you for this cause. It was worth the early wake-up.

A beautiful morning, spent with fabulous ladies for a great cause. So honour to have been able to walk with you C and offer support to your family. Congratulations to your sister for her amazing accomplishment.

I am sorry I missed ya'll yesterday - so many people and I was pulled in a million directions with my own fundraising quest and team of heros. But I was thinking of you and looking for that blond bob everywhere to give you a big hug.

You people are amazing. I'm feeling even smaller and lousier now, but hey, if i'd come I would have brought croup germs, unknowingly. Bad enough I did that to my street party that day and a dinner party the night before... God, I suck.
